Source：JICA Survey Team A4-1 Basic Poverty Profile (1/4) Summary Village Name Rimpi Village Tract (2-Villages) Township Hakha State / Region Chin Outline of Village Rimpi Village Tract is a very remotely located and small populated village in north east of Hakha where very limited agricultural production potential is observed. Currently, village people produce rice and vegetables for self consumption only, and livestock breeding is the major income activities so that villagers to sell meat and animal skin (for a small portion). Since the village access depends on one road network from Hakha although villagers notes that there is a road to Kalaymyo, they face serious difficulty for market access, especially during the rainy season due to number of landslides along the mountain road. Since delivery of products from/to the market and the village takes long time with risk, villagers need to stick with self sustaining living style rather than market based. Industrial Structure The Village Tract is located in such remote condition from its market potential city of Hakha, and their basic industry is not sales oriented agro- productions, but for their own consumption. Goods transportation takes a lot of time and risk to the market, they tends to deliver animal meat because unit price is higher than the other agro-products, such as rice and grain. Villagers do not have other industrial activities for major income sources, and currency flow is also very limited. There is very limited demand of transportation, so that such service industry is not in place on common base. Only families with motor vehicles (motorbikes) may transport people or goods to the city area for income generation, but it is also limited. Economical Condition of Household As it is understood that most villagers are living on the self sustaining and self consumption basis and production. Only limited income would be made through meat sales and animal skin sales as byproduct. Average or, in fact higher side, income of a household is 10,000 kyat per month, however such income is not generated by common agricultural production. Besides, people and families in the village are supporting each other to live better instead of competing their incomes. Since there is not such strong market based industry and economic structure, people maintain very similar livelihood one to the other. Living Condition There is no sufficient public infrastructure provided as major road is still very weak and fragile for rain fall, their living environment is very limited in activities and time for their freedom. Since the community is very small with only 495 population, such low living condition might not be so hindering them. However, improvement of basic social service and infrastructure supply should highly contributes to their living condition improvement. Road network improvement, by the way, necessarily is changing their living status as if they could have better and easy access to larger market for more economic activities. Overview of Infrastructure The Village Tract does not have both agricultural production oriented infrastructure and basic social service infrastructure up to date. There is no specific development plans for the infrastructure improvement either with the village. For power supply, there are families own SHS system to generate minimum electricity in which the devices cost 40,000 to 80,000 kyat while their basic income is about 10,000 per month. Therefore, the power supply is at higher demand with low electricity charge. On the other hand, water supply is only provided by the public water tank, but access to the tank is not fairly made for all. Water fetching is still takes lots of time of villagers in every day. There is no primary school existing although there is a secondary school in the village. However, only one teacher provide educational service to the village students, and this is not enough for all. Healthcare service then is not provided now since there is no healthcare worker to the village, although there is a healthcare center constructed. There are number of infrastructure and services to be improved immediately for better livelihood of villagers. Diagnosis There is a large demand of infrastructure improvement in all sectors, especially road network improvement, however due to repeatedly occurring landslides, the road improvement is not an easy solution to the Tracts' economic improvement. Their agro-production is also very limited due to their limited potential land for cultivation as well as size of population. Many young people are not expecting working in agricultural industry as they want to move out for better education and jobs. Instead of giving effort to develop agriculture, there might be a better opportunity for livestock industry and its improvement for more income generation. Water supply and architectural solution to the industry, for instance, may help their better livestock production under more sustainable breeding environment control. AS if the meat production is increased, village based transportation service may also be expanded for better and more periodical transport service for people and goods. Thus, benefits returned from increased production and market sales may help villagers for income generation. Such change might also improve access to not only Hakha but also other cities, such as Kalaymyo. Road network improvement does not only contribute to their income rise, but its should improve product purchase and delivery to the village which should also help their living condition to improve.

A4-3 Basic Poverty Profile (3/4) Required Infrastructure Improvement Roads /Bridges 1) Securing road rehabilitation works, when slope failure and/or landslide happen, enable local traffic to be opened promptly Note: Although comprehensive countermeasures against road disaster such as a slope failure, landslide, etc. are urgent needs to secure a safe traffic, project costs will be remarkably huge. Thus,rehabilitating damaged roads by maintenance equipment is considered practicable in urgent needs until such a budget to implement the countermeasure will be allocated.

Passing this existing road is extremely dangerous due to narrow road width by slope failure, and partially muddy and slippery conditions caused by spring water even in dry season.
